Throughout the world, few golf courses are as revered as California's Cypress Point Club - not just for its breath-taking beauty but for its architectural significance. Located on the Monterey Peninsula along the white sands and steep cliffs that border the Pacific Ocean, the beauty of Cypress Point is the equal of its more famous neighbor Pebble Beach. Unlike Pebble, however, the history of Cypress Point has been relatively unknown. That is, until now. Alister MacKenzie's Cypress Point Club, by Geoff Shackelford, is a biography of both the creation and the creator of this legendary and elusive layout. Typical of Shackelford's work, the book is richly detailed and painstakingly assembled. Remarkable vintage photographs and insightful text not only take you back to the 1920s, they take you through the mental and physical process that went into developing each and every hole - including the spectacular 16th, arguably the most famous hole in the world.
Geoff Shackelford's previous book on golf include The Rivera Country Club...A Definitive History, The Captain, Masters of the Links and The Good Doctor Returns. Geoff is a graduate of Pepperdine University where he played on the Men's Golf Team, and he now resides in Santa Monica, California. He can be reached at GeoffShac@aol.com.
